Liquid Incense: A New Unisex Scent from Maksim Perfume
Liquid Incense is the latest fragrance from Maksim Perfume, created for men and women. It arrived in 2026 with a resinous, woody character and a gentle spicy kick.
The nose behind the fragrance is Maxim Bortnikov, who sets incense and oud at the heart of a composition that feels both fresh and deep.
The top notes are pink pepper, aldehydes and bergamot. This opening is crisp and lively, giving the scent a bright first impression.
Before long, the heart opens to incense and elemi resin. These notes bring a balsamic quality and a slightly ceremonial feel to the fragrance.
Underneath, the base combines oud wood, cedar and Haitian vetiver. This woody foundation gives Liquid Incense warmth and stability, with a quiet, natural elegance.
The accords listed by Maksim Perfume include amber, aromatic, woody, oud, fresh spicy, balsamic, aldehydic, warm spicy, conifer and soft spicy. That’s a rich combination, allowing the perfume to reveal different facets over time.
As a unisex scent, Liquid Incense is a natural fit for anyone who prefers a perfume with personality rather than a strictly masculine or feminine label. It suits both daytime and evening wear.
Early ratings put the fragrance at 4.2 out of 5, based on ten reviews.
People who love incense, oud and balsamic woods will feel at home here, as will those looking for a unisex fragrance with character and a modern edge.
Liquid Incense is a carefully composed fragrance that balances freshness, spice and deep woods. Maksim Perfume and Maxim Bortnikov have created a scent that feels both special and wearable, making it an excellent addition to any serious fragrance wardrobe.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
If you expect brutality and beast mode, keep on walking. The opening is very good; you can detect vetiver and olibanum, and then later it’s very weak, close to the skin. I’ll keep trying it; we’ll give it one more chance. Second and third update… what a shame: poor longevity, it lasts a moment. They market it as eau de parfum, and it seems more like cologne.
